Community Workshop – December 2024

Venezuela: How Democracy Was Used to Destroy Democracy

with David Smolansky, SNF Agora Visiting Fellow and Dissident in Residence

The workshop will explore how Venezuela, once a prosperous democracy with a strong economy in the second half of the twentieth century, gradually lost these achievements. We’ll detail how the very tools of democracy were exploited, leading to the nation’s current state, where it is now on the verge of becoming a failed state.
